Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the London Borough of Havering was for the provision of the FFT Aspire service covering the period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029. This award, identified under the CPV code 48000000, falls under the software package and information systems category. Contracting with a regional authority, the process reached the award stage with the contract signed on 31st March 2026. The procurement was executed via a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, justifying that no equivalent product was available on the market. The main procurement category was goods, taking place in the UK for a single lot, which was eventually cancelled, with the award granted directly through GCloud 14.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the software and information systems industry, particularly those specialising in educational technology. The direct award mechanism highlights the need for unique or sole-proprietary services where no equivalent alternatives exist. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), like the awarded supplier FFT Education Limited, based in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, UK, can leverage such opportunities to provide niche solutions directly to public sector bodies, enabling potential growth within public procurement frameworks. This contract exemplifies how innovative companies can partner with local authorities to deliver specialised services that support public sector objectives.
